Odessa-born, he joined the army when he was a boy, fought in France (Amiens, St. Mihiel) with a Russian infantry brigade alongside Americans and Britons. "I shall never forget the British," he says. "Shaving in the darkest days, pipes perpetually between their teeth, they never moved faster than a walk whether in advance or retreat."
